The LuAZ-967 car was specially designed for use in the three elements. To move, he does not need roads, water barriers are not terrible, he swims perfectly for decent distances and is designed specifically for use in off-road conditions.
The vehicle is perfectly adapted for parachute landing from a transport aircraft.
The history of the creation of the most compact amphibian
In 1949-1953, the former USSR supplied weapons to Korean patriots. During the negotiations, a shortage was revealed in the composition of the armament of the forces of light all-terrain vehicles for the transport of ammunition and the transport of the wounded.
The GAZ-69 vehicles used by the troops were too noticeable and often subjected to fire, they did not drive well on the terrain pitted with craters: they often sat on bridges and got stuck. It was decided to develop a new light amphibious vehicle with a high suspension and the ability to parachute from an aircraft.
In 1958, a special group of developers led by B. M. Fitterman was createdthe first prototype, which was named NAMI-049. Gradually, the design was improved, new projects were created, and in 1961 a new car appeared, called the LuAZ-967.
Cars were made at the Lutsk Automobile Plant.
Terrain Vehicles
Inconspicuous at first glance, the car had a lot of advantages, and the coloring in camouflage colors for it was an excellent disguise.
LuAZ-967 (TPK amphibian) with a leading edge conveyor was also used by the army of the former GDR. To this day, some copies can be found in the army of Ukraine. The car is widely used for moving cargo and transporting ammunition. In civilian life, technology has also found application.
Many cars were decommissioned during the period of the so-called "civilian rearmament". Auto LuAZ-967 is very popular among fishermen, hunters, rural residents.
Frame, boat, body
The car has a specially designed sealed body.
Under the deck-floor hiding:
- battery side pipes;
- gas tank;
- ZIP;
- sump filter.
Some parts familiar to an ordinary car are completely absent in the LuAZ-967.
- door;
- stove;
- side awning details.
Additional benefits
Steering wheel and driver's seat folds. This is done to implement the possibility of driving in a prone position, for example, under fire. In this case, visu althe impression of lowering the height of the car, and the driver will not become an object of fire.
Rubber corrugations are installed at the exit points of the steering rods and axle shafts. They provide buoyancy. It is advisable to check the tightness of their fit before immersing the LuAZ-967 body in water.
There are hatches in the floor and front for access to individual parts of the transmission or engine.
Engine
LuAZ-967 is equipped with two V-shaped four-cylinder engines with an air cooling system.
In cold weather, at an air temperature of -15°С, it is necessary to use a torch heating or an emergency start device that operates on the Arktika volatile mixture injected into the manifold.
The motor is low-speed, low-power and short-lived, but its resource is enough to complete the tasks. In the war, these cars were used only during the battle. In civilian life - only on weekends. Parts that have worn or failed are periodically replaced.
Fuel - gasoline AI-76.
Transmission and gearbox
Front-wheel drive is complemented by a connection in the rear axle with an interwheel differential that can be locked. There is a blocking on the go without depressing the clutch. Prolonged 4WD driving with a locked differential on hard surfaces is not recommended
The torque is transmitted to the wheels through gearboxes. To the rear axle - with a shaft placed in a pipe.
Gear five:
- four transport;
- one for moving to"creeping" mode, quieter than the first, about 3 km/h.
Fail-safe operation
In military field conditions and in civilian life, the LuAZ-967 machine is indispensable. The photos show the wide operational possibilities of this car.
Skills in car repair or the possibility of regular maintenance in a car repair shop are a prerequisite for trouble-free operation. And spare parts need to be taken care of in advance.
